Why is everybody so opposed to this? Brees is a local hero but he is in decline. You cannot argue with that fact. Jameis is a POS but the dude is a gladiator, and he will win Super Bowls. If the team is truly in rebuilding mode, which it is, you bring in the franchise QB when he is available. This would free up tons of cap space.

I am not sentimental when it comes to football players. I don't care that your little boy will cry when Brees leaves. I just want to hang banners. And Brees ain't hanging any more.

I really don't like Jameis and don't want him to be the face or our franchise. The dude is very smart(book smart not common sense) though this is something people look past. He's a very gifted talent but if he can stay out of trouble and adjust his attitude I think he'd be an amazing QB in the NFL. He just needs to mature. He's intelligent and has all the physical gifts you want in a QB.

It would sadden me to see us trade Brees but if we got an insane deal for it I say go for it. I think he only has 1 more year here anyway. Based on how he's handling his no restructure it leads me to believe he has no intentions coming back or retirement.

This shite is becoming comical.

So it's less likely that an aging 1st ballot HOFer will get us to the Superbowl than a current college QB?

Elway
Manning
Unitas
Warner
Elway
Gannon
Tarkenton
Staubach
Morrall
Plunkett

all at least 36 when they played in the Superbowl

Elway didn't win his first until he was 37, a year older than Drew is right now

I disagree about that not being a possibility anymore. He's certainly still playing at a high level. I think the question boils down to whether the organization is truly all in on re-building, or are just trying to switch out some key pieces.

They really want to trade Drew and we end up with three 1st rounders this year? Lawd. Hell, I'd even trade that first pick back and get even more out of it.

A guy that can't stay out of trouble in college is suddenly going to take the straight and narrow with new millions in his pocket? Winston has a better chance to be Ryan Leaf than Andrew Luck.
